Front Bumper Damage!

i wanted to see if anyone here would have a pretty accurate idea of how much a fix for the amount of damage shown in the picture would be..

is taking it to a shop the best option? or should i just look for used replacement parts

any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

you MIGHT be able to just pop that fender out(if not, just get a new fender) and buff the bumper and headlight

You can't buff the cracks out of the bumper ^

the headlight might be able to be saved though. take it to a professional detailer and the scuffs just might buff out. the bumper and fender though, you have to get a new one and paint it

You're looking at least $800 for a new bumper, repainted fender, and paint and labor.

I'd say about 1000-1500. 2500 is crazy IMO. I just had repairs and paint work done to my rear quarter after getting hit, and it ran me about 1100. That was for 3stage WDP.

I had my rear bumper replaced last summer. Nothing else on the car was touched - just painted a new bumper and installed it, and that was around $800 alone. I would imagine a front bumper would be around the same $$.

If they have to replace both the headlight and the fender, I could see the repair being $2K easily.
